Katanya I do understand. Frank and I always discuss this. I have become a smoking nazi and just do not tolerate it at all. And mind you I once smoked. Yuck!!!!!

Monash hospital is the same. I think that it should be definitely banned from outside of entrance ways to hospitals and even shopping centres.

Being an ex-smoker (2 1/2 years) I realise how selfish I was. I had no concerns for what it would do to others, like Alana and Felix. I must admit I do have some guilt about it. I know how hard it is to give up so I certainly don't want to make people feel bad.

Hey Linsday aka Bloke D'Yvette. Thanks very much for your interest in Alana. It can be a relief sometimes when somebody knows about CF so you don't have to explain everything. And feel free to ask any questions aswell. Frank and I have an open policy in regards to Alana's CF. I don't want her growing up feeling embarrassed or ashamed of it. We figure if we talk about it freely then Alana will know that its not that big of a deal. IYKWIM.
